If I'd decided to major in law, I'd help you.
I know some, but in the end I went into "Computer Science." The degree now makes a nice thing to stare at while reading Rainbow Six.
In any case, that's stupid. I know this is going to sound seriously, but damn, what's up with "adults?" Please, they need to learn what the hell they're talking about.
Direct them to this thread. It'd be good for them.
